SANTA FE, N.M. – Alec Baldwin says prosecutors should not get immunity in his lawsuit over the “Rust” case after a judge threw out his manslaughter trial.
Baldwin filed the argument in a new court filing and said the Santa Fe District Attorney’s Office and special prosecutors should not be shielded from the lawsuit.
A judge tossed Baldwin’s manslaughter trial in the summer of 2024. The case centered on the deadly shooting on the set of the movie “Rust.”
Baldwin’s lawyers argued prosecutors withheld evidence. Baldwin is now suing those prosecutors and Santa Fe County.
The defendants argued they have qualified immunity and cannot be sued.
In the new filing, Baldwin said he will agree Santa Fe County is immune from the lawsuit. He also accused the other defendants of conspiring against him and asked a judge to let the lawsuit continue against them.
